In 1879 Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), the famous transcendentalist essayist, sat for sculptor Daniel Chester French (1850-1931) almost every day for a month. The life-size bust was instantly recognized as one of the best depictions of Emerson, and Emerson himself said of the bust, “That is the face that I shave.” Copies of the sculpture were made in plaster, marble, and bronze, several of which are today in museum collections. Emerson and French met in 1869 in Concord, Massachusetts where they both lived, and Emerson was on the committee that awarded French the commission that would become The Minute Man.
